Where were my emotions at any given moment? What significant things happened in my life in the last week? What coping tools do I have to use in this hard moment? Does that coping tool even work for me? What progress am I making?

This business was started to help people answer those kinds of questions. While I was in therapy for depression and anxiety I noticed that I had no sense of progress. I knew I felt better on some days and worse on others, but I couldn’t pinpoint why. What was making good days good and bad days bad?

I realized I could keep track of impactful tools, tricks, or even if the sun was shining. Maybe if I wrote down the things that made me feel happier, calmer, or more relaxed I could try those things when I was anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed. I could also write down things that didn’t help or feel right when I was struggling. Then, I could go back to my therapist and report what worked and what didn’t. I could also track my mood each day and see what kind of trends there were.

Luckily for me, I already knew some coding. I decided to start working on an app to do all of this tracking. Then I could see graphs, add coping tools, give myself reminders, maybe a journaling feature. I was full of excitement and ideas.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but this was the start of my business. This was also a large part of my healing process. I had a project to work on that I knew could make a difference in my life and maybe others’. That gave me a sense of direction. And as I added more features I could see the progress I was making in therapy even though my app didn’t actually change how I was doing therapy.

I still have a lot of ideas of how to make this app more useful. Making a product that will help people is my passion.
